There is disclosed a manufacturing method for exposure mask, which comprises acquiring a first information showing surface shape of surface of each of a plurality of mask substrates, and a second information showing the flatness of the surface of each of mask substrates before and after chucked on a mask stage of an exposure apparatus, forming a corresponding relation of each mask substrate, the first information and the second information, selecting the second information showing a desired flatness among the second information of the corresponding relation, and preparing another mask substrate having the same surface shape as the surface shape indicated by the first information in the corresponding relation with the selected second information, and forming a desired pattern on the above-mentioned another mask substrate.
摘要:
A method for forming patterns, in which pattern transfer to the same photosensitive material on a first layer is carried out using both light exposure and charged particle beam exposure, comprises the steps of performing a predetermined geometric operation between data associated with a pattern to be transferred to the first layer and data associated with a pattern to be transferred to a second layer different from the first layer, separating the pattern data associated with the pattern to be transferred to the first layer into first exposure pattern data for charged particle beam exposure and second exposure pattern data for light exposure, and performing pattern transfer on to the first layer based on the result of the separation.

This invention provides an exposure mask including a translucent film formed on a light-transmitting substrate and having a mask pattern, and a stabilized region formed in the boundary between the light-transmitting substrate and the translucent film or on at least the surface of the translucent film to prevent variations in physical properties of the translucent film. In addition, this invention provides a method of manufacturing an exposure mask, including the steps of forming a translucent film on a light-transmitting substrate, forming a photosensitive resin film on the translucent film, forming a photosensitive resin pattern by exposing the photosensitive resin film to a radiation or a charged particle beam, removing an exposed portion of the translucent film by using the photosensitive resin pattern as a mask, removing the photosensitive resin pattern, and forming a stabilized region in the boundary between the light-transmitting substrate and the translucent film or on at least the surface of the translucent film before the step of forming the photosensitive resin film or after the step of forming the photosensitive resin pattern. Also, this invention provides an apparatus for manufacturing an exposure mask, including a light source for radiating light containing at least an exposure wavelength onto a translucent film formed on a light-transmitting substrate, a photodetecting unit for detecting light emitted from the light source and transmitted through or reflected by the translucent film, and a measuring unit for measuring the characteristic of the translucent film from the light detected by the photodetecting unit.

Distillers solubles are purified by a centrifugal separation to a degree above 50,000, which is the product of g .times. minute, or a filtration with addition of a filter aid. The clarified matter is purified by a molecular sieve treatment, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis or an organic solvent precipitation. The clarified matter or purified matter thus obtained is pulverized by spray drying, lyophilic drying or air drying.Said clarified matter, purified matter or pulverized matter is added to a fermentation medium or a feed as an available component.
